The downside, though, is that it's all pro-bono work for the Big Red athletes when they fuck up.

Anecdotal? Yes. Believeable? Extremely.

1) I don't think two ADULTS in positions of prestige could have embarrassed the city (when they, in fact, had the power to the exact opposite and exhibit some dignity in spite of this event) more than Lord Reno and Sherriff Fred.

2) As someone who heard of this rape very soon after, along with everyone else in Steubenville I was and still am under the impression (and I'm pretty sure, just based on context clues) that "dead body" is not some code that existed before that night. It was in reference to the Nodianos video where he uses it and the rest of them think it's hysterical. So he says it, tweets it and then his friends who witnessed his "hilarious" video rant pick up the term and use it too. Zwick is correct in my opinion.

But I do believe these idiots raped before (see the claims from a victim in April of '12 who says she was raped by members of the baseball team.

3) hopefully Lord Reno is truly stepping aside on Monday as has been rumored and the school can start fresh. The good people of the school/ innocent students, good folks behind the scenes of the football program, etc. deserve it. Big Red's fb program and the University here really are the only things Steubenville has going for it and there are a ton of good, hard-working people here. Unfortunately, they aren't represented by the minority who post as SHS fans on these message boards and have to be represented by FWK. ThinThick, etc.

I'm sure the majority of Steubenville is full of good and decent people. But they are just as reprehensible if they knew what was going on for months/years and could do nothing.

Mooney44Cards;1358767 wrote:"There's nothing I could have done about it" has been an excuse for far too long. Good people HAVE to turn a blind eye for corruption to happen. I don't accept the excuse that there's nothing anyone could do.

I see your point I just don't agree. Corruption only exists when good people tell themselves theres nothing they could do, even if that's not the case.
